The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical research institute of excellence, founded in December 2000. Its mission is to discover and advance knowledge for the benefit of society, public health and economic prosperity.

The breadth of topics, approaches and technologies at the CRG permits a broad range of fundamental issues in life sciences and biomedicine to be addressed. Research at the CRG falls into four main areas: gene regulation, stem cells and cancer; cell and developmental biology; bioinformatics and genomics; and systems biology.

With 400 scientists from 43 countries, the CRG excellence is based on an interdisciplinary, motivated and creative scientific team that is supported by high-end and innovative technologies. Over 200 publications in high quality journals are published every year, and researchers are also active in facilitating the transfer of new basic findings into benefits for health and economic value for society.

CRG is devoted to excellent training at all stages of a career in life sciences. The CRG Advanced Training Programme embraces training-through-research, hands-on and theoretical courses, conferences and seminars with leading guest speakers and internal data and journal clubs, to empower researchers with new skills, knowledge and abilities. The institute also runs “Courses@CRG”, a series of courses open to the scientific community and focusing on a wide range of topics combining theory and hands-on sessions. Career development and transferable skills are also provided through tailor-made training.
